Space Apps Challenge 2018

Solution Goal:

Detecting Wildfires and Notifying People at Risk within 10 s

What does our project do?

By improving connectivity between individuals, social medias, NASA's database, drones and other aircrafts, and firefighters, the wildfires can be detected within 10 s.

How to Detect Wildfires and Notify People around Fires within 10 s?

- 10 s before the Fire: Infer the Possibility of Wildfires by Climate Data.
A detailed description is shown in "Predicting Daily Fire Occurence": https://github.com/zyning/nasa-spaceapp-2018/blob/...

- 8 s before the Fire: Start Launching Drones and Other Aircrafts to Detect and Verify the Fires.

- 3 s before the Fire: Potential Fire Alarms through Third Party Social Media.

- 3 s after the Fire: Report a Fire through Geolocated Social Media Posts.

- 5 s after the Fire: Drones and Other Aircrafts Provide Real Time Information about How a Fire is Unfolding.

- 7 s after the Fire: Social Medias Alert People around the Fire and Show Potential Exits and Entry Points.
Potential Collaboration Partner: Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat

- 10 s after the Fire: Call for Firefighters.
Our mission, as Vigil (a Latin word, means "watchman who alerts fireman in Rome"), has accomplished.
